but wonder if Mr. Pierce alluded to
his latest candidacy for United
States representative in congress.
His beaming countenance glowed
the more with the repeated refer
ences of friendly speakers to "Gov

had not forgotten that he had once
held high office. He was, as ever,
gracious, eloquent the most com
manding speaker at the banquet.

Does Heppner want a volunteer
fire organization? No better af
firmative answer could be given
than the response of local people
at the first annual Firemen's Ball
held Saturday. The firemen ingra
tiated themselves in the hearts of
of all who attended. It was an
event, the repetition of which will
be looked forward to. A heartier
welcome has been shown nothing
or no one in many a day.
HELPING THEMSELVES.
"fOO helps him who helps him
self" is an oft-quoted adage
that has been taken to heart in a
large way by gentry of the sheep
industry who are Identified with
the Oregon Woolgrowers associa
tion. They are following a course
which, if followed by everyone,
would soon lift the country from
the throes of business depression.
With their backs against the wall,
these hardened men of the range
land have decided that their right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness is theirs if they make it
so. They seek no gevernmental pa
ternalism. They believe if their
problems are to be solved they must
solve them. And they have gone
about the matter intelligently.
Under sound guidance of capable
leaders, both in the national and
state associations, they have at
tempted to diagnose their ailments,
and proceeded to apply the reme
dies which their common sense and
good judgment told them were
needed.
"If our prices are suffering from
lack of demand for our products,"
they reasoned, "then why not stim
ulate the demand?"
Of the quality and usefulness of
their products, they were certain.
These had been proved beyond a
shadow of a doubt through cen
turies of use. And the prices at
which these products were avail
able certainly should make their
value readily appreciated by a pub
lic whose buying power was con
siderably curtailed.
The thing to do was to dress
their products up in attractive
packages, tell the people how good
they are, how to use them, and
how reasonably they could be pur
chased. The public would respond
they were certain.
They tried it In one city last
year. In Omaha they increased the
consumption of lamb 60 per cent in
three months' time. They were en
couraged in their belief. This year
they will invade other cities.
Wiser than many who claim to
be merchants, these patriotic and
heroic woolgrowers have but adopt
ed sound merchandising tactics.
They have found that truth well
told pays.
"What was Heppner's loss is Pen
dleton's gain," complimented
speaker at the woolgrowers' ban-
auet in Pendleton. Recipient of
the compliment, Calvin L. Sweek
toastmaster, who officiated in the
usual capable manner known to
local banqueters.
REAL THRIFT.
Autocaster Service.
VERY year at this time, the
lj week which begins on Franklin's
birthday, January 17th, is celebrat
ed as National Thrift Week. We
think this is a pretty good idea,
and that this year, 1932, is a par
ticularly good year in which to do
little thinking about thrift.
An immense amount of the trou
ble which this country experienced
1931, and to a lesser degree in
1930, came about because a large
number of people forgot all about
thrift in the boom years from 1923
1929. There was always a chance
get a better job at more money,
so why worry about laying anything
aside for a rainy day? But there
were a lot or people twenty mil
lion or so who put something out
every pay envelope into a savings
bank or a building and loan asso
ciation or a piece of property or
something else of permanent value.
Those people who were thrifty are
the ones who are not complaining
of distress in these hard times.
Thrift does not mean hoarding
money away where it does nobody
any good. It is thrift to buy or
build a home, or to put a little mon
ey away every pay day for a life
insurance or old age fund. Run
ning into debt is not always thrift
less, provided the debt is for some
thing of actual value and the regu
lar payments on principla and in
terest are not too heavy to be borne
out of fixed incomes. The people
who are in the worst trouble today
are the ones who went into debt in
boom times on the notion that their
incomes were never going to be less
and probably would be more.
Benjamin Franklin was right
when he said, "A penny saved is a
penny earned."
Walter M. Pierce the politician
was more in evidence than W. M.
P. the sheepraiser at the Oregon
Woolgrowers convention in Pendle
ton the first of the week. At the
banquet Monday evening Mr. Pierce
told a five-minute Abe Lincoln story
which had as its point "a long-

JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN
WOMAN
John 4:9-26
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
To help establish the reality of
this incident let the writer refer to
his visit in the Samaritan Colony,
where just a remnant of anly a few
score now remain of those who
were so despised by the Jews in
that day. The very ancient Samari
tan Pentetuch was shown me with
marked pride. Their history dates
back to the destruction ol tne
Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722
B. C. The Passover is still ob
served each year on Mt. Gerizim
according to their own ancient
rites. Often the Jews would go
far out of their way so as to avoid
this region in preceeding to Galilee
but this time "He must needs pass
through Samaria."
The complete humanity of Jesus
is evidenced in the lesson setting
as the tired man sits at the side of
Jacob's well. As the woman comes
to draw water Jesus enters upon
the personal work in accord with
His own "Win One" method of pro
cedure. Let any teacher or preach
er who is distressed by reason of
an audience of one or even a few
only note how Jesus acted. Seek
ine a favor is often a helpful ap
proach to open the opportunity to
render real service in turn. "Give
me a drink" is commonplace, but
it led to genuine salvation that day.
Just as soon as the woman sens
ed the divinely spiritual relation
ship of this passing Jew she was
canny in seeking His answer
the vexatious problem which kept
Jews and Samaritans apart. "Where
is the place to worship," she quer
led. Place is only an Incident, for
the vital fact is the Person Who
worshipped and how the approach
Is rightly made. She was Informed
that "God is a Spirit," and approach
to His throne of mercy can be made
from anywhere. Observe that th
woman gave answering belief and

BANKS AND BANKERS.
Autocaster Service.
T LOOKS to us as if a good deal
of financial distress is due to the
fact that a great many people who
had no right to be in the banking
business were permitted to call
themselves bankers while the hig
money boom was on. It was
brought out in the hearings at
Washington on international bank
ing that more than six hundred
million dollars of bonds issued by
different South American govern
ments are in default. That means
these governments haven't paid the
interest when due and that there is
an excellent chance that people who
bought these bonds will not get
their money back.
These loans were made on the in
vitation or jNew York concerns
which call themselves investment
bankers. The bonds were sold at
high prices to individuals and to
small banks throughout the coun
try. And these are far from being
the only so-called -investments on
which the public and small bank
ers have been stung.
jrteai bankers ao not advise or
encourage their customers to in
vest In doubtful securities, or buy
them with their depositors' money
People are prone to think that
bankers are speculators. That
very far from being the truth. Th
vast majority of bankers have
very deep sense of responsibility
in handling of other people s mon
ey. iney regara tnemselves as
trustees, and they naturally feel
that they have to be much more
cautious about making loans than
if it was their own money they
were lending. To be sure, even the
most careful and honest bankers
sometimes make mistakes, but we
have observed that the banks which
are in the soundest condition today
are the ones which did not buy
highly speculative securities while
the boom was on, and who are not
themselves In the business of sell
ing bonds.

So much interest has been de
veloped in private Irrigation sys
tems in Oregon recently that con
siderable demand has developed for
information on methods of applying
water. M. R. Lewis, irrigation en
gineer at the Oregon State college
experiment station, has started
series of radio addresses on th
subject which may be heard two
Wednesday evenings per month
over the college station, KOAC.
Professor Lewis' schedule of sub
jects Is, January 27, "The Border

Forestry has now been officially
added to the already varied list of
subjects in which training is avail
able to Oregon boys and girls thru
the 4-H club department at Oregon
State college, according to L. J. Al
len, assistant state club leader.
The new project is designed "to
nterest and instruct boys and girls,
both rural and urban, in the identi
fication, planting, preserving and
uses of trees and shrubs, and to
help them to appreciate the value
nd importance of forests," Mr. Al
len says. In addition, work with
farm wood lots, wind breaks, road
side and public ground plantings
will be included.
Cooperating with the 4-H club de
partment in outlining the new pro
ject have been Lynn Cronemiller,
state forester; Maj. John D. Guth
rie, regional forester; Albert Wies-
ndanger, senior forest ranger;
Walter L. Dutton, regional forest
nspector; T. H. Rainwater of the
state forestry office, and George W.
Peavy, dean of the school of for
estry at Oregon State college.
Four-H club work in forestry has
been carried on in Lane, Tillamook
and Multnomah counties and the
city of Portland for . the past sev
eral years as a special project on a
small scale, Mr. Allen says. The in
terest and enthusiasm of these
clubbers, and the benefit they re
ceived from the work created a de
mand which led to the writing of
the project on a state-wide, uniform
basis.
Plans are to have the forestry
project cover a five-year period
The first two years, which are pre
requisite to the more advanced
work, have been outlined and clubs
wishing to enroll may obtain com
plete instructions and information
from the state club office, county
agents or county club agents.

HOUSING IN WINTER
I have a neighbor who keeps a
three-storv apartment house. This
building is strictly modern in the
western sense, having hot and cold
water, refrigeration, and the most
sanitary gf kitchenette equipment;
and it has the most efficient of heat
ing plants to be found anywhere
This, in one of the most variable
climates that I know of Missouri.
My neighbor iS thoroughly equip
ped with the idea of keeping his
house WARM. I have attended pa
tients there when the thermometer
stood at zero, and have been com
pelled to remove my coat to avoid
breaking into an uncomfortable
perspiration. I have warned the
owner of the danger of extremes in
temperature in living ' apartments
and he himself uses more medi
cine for "colds" than any three of
my other patrons who live in less
scientific houses.
Imagine sitting In a temperature
of 80 degrees, (often higher) and
then walking uptown facing
northwest wind in a temperature
below freezing! Imagine sleeping
in a room at 75, and going out be
fore breakfast In a zero tempera
ture to brush away snow from the
front door!
The object in writing this is to
urge on my readers the great dan
ger of subjecting the body to ex
tremes of temperature in winter. It
is equally bad for adults and chil
dren. The "germ" is a very poor
second or even third in causing
colds, when compared with over
heated living-rooms; and this does
n't mean "chilly" or damp sitting
rooms either. Living-rooms should
be COMFORTABLE, and main
tained so by careful attention. A
good thermometetr is indispensa
ble in the home. And the matter
of proper, healthful ventilation is
not so simple as one might suspect.
It will pay you to study it closely.
On Januarv 17th occurred the
226th anniversary of a great Ameri
can who should not be forgotten
amid the nation's tribute to George
Washington this year; for this not
ed American was not only a glory
to our history but without him
Washington might not have been
able to achieve our independence.
This great American was Benja
min Franklin, wno Decame, next.
to George Washington, the best
known American of the 18th cen
tury. Wherever enlightened men
gathered ' during Franklin's life
time, they accounted him foremost
in philosophy, politics, and diplo
macy, and to this day his name is
secure in history as that of a pio
neer in science.
Franklin was one of the most
versatile men of our history. His
clear thinking and good common
sense won him fame everywhere.
As for his winning personality, it
proved a tremendous asset to the
American cause. The final victor
ies of Washington on the battle
field would never have been possi
ble but for Franklin's skill in the
field of diplomacy and his ultimate
winning of the French nation to
America s side.
Benjamin Franklin was born in
Boston, on January 17, 1706, the
United Staets George Washington
Bicentennial Commission reminds
us. His father wanted him to
learn the trade of candle-making,
an occupation that he disliked so
much that he threatened to revolt.
To forestall his running away to
sea, the boy Franklin was appren
ticed to his half-brother, James,
printer; and here Franklin's rapid
self-enducation got Its start. In
his brother's shop he met intelli
gent people, he eagerly read the
best books, and he soon tried his
hand at writing for his brother's
newspaper, called the "first sensa
tional sheet in America."
Quarreling with his brother,
Franklin set out for Philadelphia
at the age of 17, to make his own
way. There he soon caught the at
tention of Governor Keith at whose
suggestion he went to London.
There, in spite of many hardships,
he soon obtained employment and
his agreeable personality brought
him many Influential friends. One
of them, a Quaker merchant named
Denham, offered Franklin a job in
a store that he planned to open in
Philadelphia. Within a short time
Denham died and Franklin was
again without a job, but his next
step was Important,
With Hugh Meredith he estab
lished a printing shop in Philadel
phia and in ten years he had made
it the most Important business of
its kind in the country. Next he
bought the Pennsylvania Gazette,
which soon gained a circulation of
10,000 and became one of the out
standing papers of the time. In
this paper he began those pithy
maxims to be gathered under the
title of "Poor Richard's Almanac,"
which lives today in lasting fame.
Meanwhile Franklin's interest and
activities had broadened in every
direction. He founded the Ameri
can Philosophical Society, organ
ized the first fire company in Phil
adelphia, and became the city's
postmaster and clerk of the Penn
sylvania Assembly. His interest
in science also developed, and he
invented a stove and began those
experiments in electricity which
have made his name a household
word in the scientific world.
Every schoolboy knows the story
of Franklin's suspicion that the
lightning bolt was simply a larger
specimen of the spark he drew
from a Leyden jar. He proved the
likeness with his historic experi
ment of the kite and the key dur
ing a thunder-storm. The inven
tion of the lightning rod soon fol
lowed.
Franklin's diplomatic feats make
too long a list for a newspaper col
umn, but it was he who first sought
to bind the colonies together in un
ion. He performed many saving
services for the Colonies before the
Revolution, and during that strug
gle his influence in France provid
ed the factor that turned the Revo
lution to victory for America.
Even at 81, Franklin's deeds for
his country were not yet ended, for
in 1787 he performed the culmina
ting service of his long and great
career with the fitting act of be
coming a member of the convention
that wrote the Constitution.
Throughout his life he was a de
voted admirer of George Washing
ton, and the friendship of these two
men is one of the fairest pages in
early American history. On his
death, on April 17, 1790, Franklin
willed his cane to Washington,
with the famous words: "My fine
crab-tree walking stick, with a gold
head curiously wrought In the form
of a cap of liberty, I give to my
friend and the friend of mankind,
General Washington. If it were a
sceptre, he has merited it and
would become it."
